Wadau,

The prowess of Africans in music has been well established in history.

King James IV of Scotland came to the throne in 1488. He was a popular, fun-loving king with many interests. Many Africans were present at his court. They worked as servants and musicians.

The following entries from the King’s accountant demonstrate:
[ul]
[li]To celebrate Shrove Tuesday in 1505, several Africans including a traubanor (drummer) and a choreographer were present in Edinburgh. Twelve dancers performed in specially made black-and-white costumes costing 13 Shillings. Was this the origin of Morris (Moorish) dancing?[/li]

[li]In 1504-5 the ‘Moryen’ taubronar was paid 28 Shillings.[/li]

[li]James bought a horse at a cost of 4 Shillings for this drummer, who accompanied him when he toured his kingdom.[/li][/ul]
African women were also mentioned in the Treasurer’s accounts. They were showered with items such as gowns of satin, ribbons, slippers and gloves, paid for by the king. Entries that refer to African women include:
[ul]
[li]‘Blak Elene’ or ‘Elen More’ was given five Shillings in 1512.[/li]

[li]A ‘Blak maiden’ who attended Queen Margaret was given four-and-a-quarter ells (just over five yards) of French russet.[/li]

[li]‘Blak Margaret’ was given a gown costing 48 Shillings in 1513.[/li]

[li]‘Two Blak ladies’ staying at the Scottish Court were presented with 10 French crowns as a New Year gift at a cost of 7 Shillings.[/li]

[li]In 1527, one item simply said ’ to Helenor, the Blak Moor - 60 shillings’ .[/li][/ul]

I wonder if a black race will be superior to mzungu in after life?

3

Why should they be superior? All human beings are God’s creation. We’re all supposed to be equal but the Caucasians are the ones who carry selfishness in their hearts.

4

Well we have been supress not only by Caucasians but Arabs and Indiana like wise

The wazungu colonized the Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Africans.

They nearly exterminated the Australian Aborigines and the Maori.

They bombed Japan with nuclear weapons.

They killed 100 million people in World War two.

They brought about Apartheid, colonialism and the Atlantic Slave Trade.

You can’t compare. Wazungu are the masters of oppression.
